A show representative couldn’t immediately confirm that they’re speaking with the actress, but Mullally seems positive. “I think they do really funny stuff,” she says of the sleeper hit. “They have a really cute cast.”

“Wow, that was mind-blowing,” she says. “His PR firm, each day, sends him anything that’s written about him, and there were like 30 blogs about it. I’ve never seen anything like that. People online went insane.”

Offerman took it much better than the fans.

“Nick is a great man, and he took it like a champ,” she says, “but we did remark on the sheer volume that was written. It was pretty incredible. It’s flattering.”
